.. a month goes by and nothing been achieved! :( well work and life has been busy so not had much time for modelling.. although have been to a couple of shows Railex being the best. I got to see Missy's little Nn3 Shunter and chatted to her near the end of the show, came away with some ideas and then the 2011 Challenge pops up! hmmmm even more distraction(s)

 

I am also going on a mad dash to the 2mm Expo oop north on Saturday with 8 hours on the train and around 4 hours at the show, but looking forward to it though hopefully will remember to charge the camera etc as its a 05:30am start.

 

Waiting for a package to arrive with wheels and gear 'n' stuff so I can start my Fencehouses J72 although the longer time goes on the more apprehensive I become to my skills and abilities to complete said kit.

Have a good day at the expo. Its too far for me to manage when you add it the ferry trips. I too am waiting for some wheels and gears. I am sure your skills will increase. The only advice I can offer is don't rush work through each stage and recognise that some bits are going to be 'out of your comfort zone' (it may be a cliche but it's a good description).

Tom,

 

I will have my part-completed J72 at the Expo if you want to have a look - I'm doing a demo on wagon building so will have a table there. I've built the loco chassis and am about 75% through the body - all that is left is to add the boiler and fit all the detailing bits.

 

I found the most daunting bit of the kit-building process was the idea of cutting down the motor, so I avoided it completely and found a smaller motor! The rest of the build was fairly straightforward, even though it was my first 2mm loco build.
